[clogs]

My children boy and girl both born with Autism and we had to treat them with refeurs sphycology and it drove us mad and no medication for it. Both are married with very good jobs high pay. But both have two children with the same problems very severe cases off Auitism Won't talk to them parends and constand crying and running away from them . Absolute no reconition off who they are or us grand parends. Both my kids told us they hate us for no reason and we had very litle communication between us. I am aproject Engineer for most off my life till retirement. and I don't see my children any more or my grant children becouse off the Autism. How many more generations will this go on born with this severe mental problem? Will it disapere in du course or not? We wish we never had them kids born to us. Big mistake. But we din't know.  very fulstrated           grand dad        Australia

If your children both have very good, high-paying jobs it seems unlikely that they would be diagnosed with severe autism. The genetic contributions to autism have not been clearly identified, so it is not possible to accurately predict how autism will affect your family in the future. I would suggest that interested members of your family seek genetic counseling, which is available in most major urban hospitals. We do not yet know how to prevent autism, but there are certainly some effective interventions for the behavioral difficulties and social deficits associated with the disorder. Many families affected by autism are able to develop happy, loving relationships. If you are interested in a relationship with your children and grandchildren, I suggest that you and your family seek some professional support to address these issues.
